Puerto Madero is a revamped dockside area. Its converted redbrick buildings contain upscale steakhouses popular with tourists and business lunchers. Sleek skyscrapers house multinational corporations and high-value apartments. Trails loop around several lakes at the wildlife-rich Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, which draws families and joggers. Spanning the docks, Puente de la Mujer is a graceful suspension bridge.

"Puerto Madero is the slick and modern part of Buenos Aires, but it’s not all about shiny office buildings, fancy condos, and refurbished docks — there are many cool (and cheap) activities to be had in the neighborhood. Walking along the docks is a great way to enjoy the vibe and check out the port, and the 864-acre Reserva Ecológica, the city’s biggest and most biodiverse green space, is a must-see. The barrio is also home to some great street food vendors (close to the natural reserve), so be sure to try a choripán or bondiola." - MATADOR_NETWORK
